    Beach fun

    Beautiful beach with plenty to do. Excellent views and a surf school. The area surrounding is fantastic and there are places to sit and take in the views and eat.

    Georgeous Beach

    Perfect for sand castles, and playing the pirates . Unfortunally the waves were not big enought for a good surf this day.

    Magnificent beach

    . . but you really need good weather. On a fine day, it is quite a superb beach, with lots of room for (mostly) families and young children. Even if the weather isn't the best, a walk along the beach is a must do And...More
